Belt colors:
The color of the belt is an indication
of the skill level of a Taekwondo student. Sometimes
belts can be gained by winning competitions, the common
way is by completing an exam.
White Belt (10th Geup)
The color white indicates that
a person is "innocent", has no knowledge of the sport
Taekwondo. The white-belt is automatically gained by
taking Taekwondo classes.
Yellow Belt (8th Geup)
The color yellow indicates
that the person is getting to know the basic techniques,
this stadium is compared to a plant growing its roots.
The student going for yellow-belt is usually not skilled
enough to show "Chayu daeryon" (non-contact sparring).
Instead the student has to show "Sajoe" ("four-direction-movement",
one specific technique shown to all directions)
Green Belt (6th Geup)
The color green indicates that
a student is growing as a Taekwondo student. The color
of the belt is compared to a plant growing its leafs.
Blue Belt (4th Geup)

a student is reaching higher, like a plant that is growing
towards the sky.
Red Belt (2nd Geup)

movements. The color red also warns an opponent.
Black Belt (1st dan)
Black is the opposite of white
and means the maturity of the student in the art. It
also is an indication of being impenetrable for fear
and darkness.
